I am currently pursuing a Master's degree in Tourism and Hospitality at Holy Angel Pampanga. I trust this message reaches you in good health. I am reaching out to seek your support in acquiring particular statistical information for my thesis research, a vital aspect of my academic investigation. Entitled "Exploring the Hotel Booking Landscape: Investigating Travel Profiles, Demographic Characteristics, and Motivations Affecting Customers' Preferences between Direct Booking and Online Travel Aggregators," my thesis aims to comprehend the elements influencing the decision-making process of customers.
With that in mind, I am kindly requesting the following information to support my research:
1, Detailed Statistics on Domestic Tourist Numbers in Baguio City from January 2023 to December: I would greatly appreciate an updated report on the number of domestic tourists visiting Baguio City. This data would help me assess the tourism landscape and analyze its influence on consumers' choices.
2. Name of Establishments of Top Five Hotels in Baguio City with High Occupancy Rates in year 2023: To ensure a comprehensive analysis, I need information on the top five hotels in Baguio City that exhibit consistently high occupancy rates. By including these hotels in my data sampling, I can better understand customers' preferences and behaviors.
3. Detailed Average Occupancy Rates and Names of Accommodation Establishments near Burnham: As part of my study, I am particularly interested in the 19 accommodation establishments located near Burnham. Could you kindly provide the average occupancy rates for each of these establishments along with their names? This data would significantly contribute to my understanding of the local hotel industry.
I understand that you may have limited resources and time, but any information you could provide would be valuable to my research. I truly appreciate your assistance in helping me gather this essential statistical data.
Thank you very much for your attention and support. I look forward to your positive response.
Best regards,
